Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy/issues/156

Originally assigned to: @maziggy on GitHub.

Problem or Use Case

I have been adding STL files I have archived on my PC / Server, but all the STLs are just a square. It would be ideal if they showed the model the way the 3MF files do. Any way to preview them en-masse would be great some models don't match the file name well, or there are several named similar and seeing the model would help differentiate them.

Proposed Solution

Show the model the way that 3MF files do.

Alternatives Considered

I dont think there is an alternative here. I have hundreds of files to upload.

Feature Category

File Manager

Priority

Would improve my workflow

Mockups or Examples

I don't really have one, in the screenshot you can see how 3MFs show up, if that could be achieved with STLs that would be very helpful.

Contribution

I would be willing to help implement this feature

Checklist

I have searched existing issues to ensure this feature hasn't already been requested

This is more complex than it might seem. 3MF files contain pre-rendered thumbnail images embedded in the archive, STL files are raw mesh data. So we would need to render it somehow.

I'll put it on the "future feature" list for now.
